Today I had the most wonderful mail day ever. I received my very first Japanese craft books! I ordered them a few weeks ago through YesAsia (ISBN4277311474, ISBN4579110439, and ISBN4579109724).
These books are simply gorgeous. The ideas in them are just amazing, and the photography is beautiful.
Here are a few images from the books (sorry, I don’t have a scanner):
Wonderful embroidery for a fabric book cover
This is an apron! Can you believe it?
More gorgeous aprons
Oh, I am so in love with these. After gazing lovingly at them for a while, I asked Justin, “Can I order some more?” They’re just too cool for words.

I really really really want to start a trend wherein we wear aprons all the time.
Over jeans or skirts…
can’t we?
Why not? Actually, I’m really digging that idea. Hmmm…
i love the picture on page 30…it makes me think of a little snowman 🙂
Those look so fun! I need to stay far away from them—I already have too many uncompleted craft projects. 🙂 But I love the idea of wearing aprons over everything. We should definitely start a new trend!
Looks very cute. Great Find! But I don’t think those aprons would look good on me. haha But find me a chef hat and I’ll join the trend revolution. 🙂
I just found your site through Leya. Beautiful site! I received the apron book in a swap and I LOVE IT! Japanese craft books are highly addictive!
i have the second book too. i can’t wait to make some! so sweet and simple.
Wow – I am totally into that first apron. That is gorgeous. I would wear that over jeans in a heartbeat.
